So I require tetanus shot

Question

Slight puncture, even blood is not flowing outside just if I push the skin enough then only the opening is visible( nit that I'm pushing), slight blood impression inside the skin. Do I need tetanus for this? After half n hour I washed and applied boroplus on it as well. Please let me know if it is required.
